My mother cooked with barley a lot, so when I found this recipe for stuffed peppers, I know it would be great. I just made a few changes to suit our tastes, and now it's a weekday dinner standby.—Rosella Peters, Gull Lake, Saskatchewan

My husband loved this recipe. I made the following changes:

-- diced the pepper tops (not stems, of course) and added them to the sausage/onion/garlic when cooking

-- used cooked brown and white rice instead of barley, since that's what I had on hand

Delicious!
